Gingerbread House
The Gingerbread house was first noted in
the Grimm’s Fairy Tale, Hansel and Gretel, and followed in a German
opera by the same title. After the show was first produced only days
before Christmas, it became a holiday tradition in German Opera
houses to build miniature replicas of the gingerbread house from the
story. The tradition then spread to bakeries and, eventually, to
homes.
